Hi. I'm a long-time Slackware and Debian user, and I'm currently discovering Crux. I'm currently at the "configure kernel" stage in the install. Q: did the Crux developers figure out a reasonable one-size-fits-all config for the kernel?

I like very much the no-bullshit approach... I began on Slackware 7.1 in 2001, and I also used Debian quite a lot (but I prefer Slackware for its simplicity). Tried Arch a bit, but I miss a release. Now I stumbled upon Crux, and the first contact: I rather like it!

Chris Evans from Google Security discovered an integer overflow in the Systrace kernel code. If an adversary can open "/dev/systrace", the bug can be leveraged to gain root access. Both OpenBSD and NetBSD current have been patched. Please, update your systems.
